The LEGO Shop has confirmed that the upcoming LEGO Creator Halloween Pumpkin (40697) will be a gift with purchase set. It has 254 pieces and it features a pumpkin with two different faces along with a floating ghost on the side. Inside the pumpkin is a light brick that you can illuminate the pumpkin just like a real one. There’s no information yet on the price requirements to get it but it should be available some time in October.

LEGO Fan Media Days is currently going on right now in Billund and one piece of news that has come out of it is that LEGO Ideas will be bumping up the parts count for fans to create larger projects. According to Brickset, the maximum parts count will be upped to 5,000 pieces which allows fans to make larger and more detailed projects but will also potentially make them more expensive. There’s no word yet on when it will be implemented. The current parts count, while still a lot, is at 3,000 although LEGO has made exceptions on a few sets that have went over that limit. What are your thoughts on this big change to LEGO Ideas? The post LEGO Ideas Increasing Parts Count appeared first on The Brick Fan. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Amazon is ramping up their LEGO sales as they have now discounted the LEGO Icons Atari 2600 (10306) by 33%. This drops the price of the set down to $159.99 which saves you $80 on it. I believe this is the lowest the set has been at and is even cheaper than the sale on the LEGO Shop. The set is reportedly set to retire at the end of the year.

And since you’re here on BrickNerd, I figure we’ll keep the discussion about LEGO bridges, sound cool? Ok, let’s get into it! Let’s start this off by stating the obvious, bridges are cool. In real life, absolutely. In LEGO, oh ab-so-lutely! And there are a LOT of ways to build a bridge. When I first started thinking about writing an article about LEGO bridges I did a quick search on Flickr and my first reaction was “there are a LOT of bridges!” I pitched the idea to the rest of the nerds over here and within a few minutes I had about a dozen examples of bridges that people in the community had built over the years. So yeah, bridges...
